Background and history:

This Surah was revealed in the Ramadan of the 5th year of Prophethood in Makkah. During the first five years of his appointment as a Prophet, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him) had been extending invitations to Allah's Religion by presenting the Divine Revelations before the people only in private assemblies.
During this time, he could not recite the Quran before a common gathering openly, mainly because of the strong opposition and resistance from the disbelievers. They were well aware of how magnetic and captivating the Holy Prophet's personality and his way of preaching were and how impressive were the Revelations of the Quran. Therefore, they tried their best to avoid hearing it themselves and to stop others also from hearing it, and suppress his invitation through false propaganda by spreading every kind of suspicion against him.
On the one hand, they were telling the people that Muhammad had gone astray and was now bent upon misleading others as well, on the other hand, they would raise uproar whenever he tried to present the Quran before the people so that no one could know what it was for which he was being branded as a misled and misguided person.
Such were the conditions when the Holy Prophet suddenly stood up one day to make a speech in the sacred precincts of the Kabah, where a large number of the people had gathered together. God at that time made him deliver this discourse, which we have now in the form of the Surah An-Najm with us. Such was the intensity of the impression that when the Holy Prophet of God started reciting it the opponents were so completely overwhelmed that they could not think of raising any disorder, and when at the conclusion he fell down in prostration, they too fell down in prostration along with him.
